APPENDIX 


—  &. Terms and Measures used in Physics, 
Engineering, &c. 


Mdzolute Density. See Density. 

Absolute Temperature, temperature measured 
from the absolute zero, which is generally taken 
as —273° C.; or practically, temperature as mea- 
sured on the scale of the air-thermometer. 

Absolute Units, in dynamics, units of force, such 
as the poundal and the dyne, which are inde- 
pendent of g, the acceleration due to avity; in 
electricity, those electrostatic and electro-mag- 
netic units which are derived immediately from 
the fundamental C.G.S. units, and upon which 
the practical units (ohm, volt, &c.) are based. 

_ Acceleration, rate of change of velocity, either in 

magnitude or in direction or in both; the ordi- 


Mary units of uniform_acceleration in a straight. 


line (represented by «) are one foot per second 
per second (sometimes written 1 ft./sec.2) and one 
centimetre per second per second. See also 
Angular Acceleration. 4 
Adiabatic, in thermodynamics, used to denote 
changes of volume unaccompanied by gain or loss 
of heat; chiefly in adiabatic curve, a curve or 
graph showing the relation between the volume 
and thé pressure of a fluid which changes its 
volume without gain or loss of heat. See Iso- 
thermal. be x 
Ampere, in electricity, the unit of current, de- 
fined as the current given, by an E.M.F. of one 
volt through a resistance of one ohm, and equal 
to one-tenth of the absolute electromagnetic unit 
of current. ¢ 
@ngle, the inclination to each other of twostraight 
liries in one piage, denoted by 0, w, 9, w, B, &c.; 
easured in terms of either sexagesimal units 
see Degree}, or centesimal units (see Grade), or 
circular units (see Radian). See also Solid 


Angie. ; 

fnale of Repose, the angle of inclination to the 
horizontal of an inclined plane when the force 
‘of gravity is just sufficient to overcome friction; 
its tangent is the coefficient of friction: 

Angular Acceleration, rate of change of angular 
velocity, measured in degrees, or grades, or radians 
per second per second. 

gular Veiocity, the number of units of angle 
passed through in unit time by a straight line 
revolving round a fixed point in it, measured in 
degrees, or es, or radjans per second, and 
generally denoted byw. 

Area, amount of surface, measured in square feet, 
“square centimetres, &c. 

Atmosphere, a conventional unit of pressure for 
iat purposes, equal to that represented by 

he barometer at 30 inches or 760 millimetres, or 
roughly 15 lbs. per square inch; an absolute at- 
mosphere is a million dynes per square centi- 


metre. 

Atomic Heat, the product of the specific heat of 
an element and its atomic weight, equal to about 
6°4 for practically all the elements. 

Bearing Stress, the stress of a body : fpegeee against 
another in such a way as to tend to produce in- 
dentation or cutting; resolvable into compression 
and shearing stresses. 

Bending Moment, for a particular section of a 
given beam under a load of specified magnitude 
and distribution, is the sum of the momentsround 

the section of all the forces acting upon either of 


the two parts inte which the beam is divided af 
the section. 

Boiling-Point, usually denoted by B.P., the tems 
perature at which a liquid passes into the us 
condition; especially the boiling-point of water, 
which is taken as a fixed point onlordinary thers 
mometers (100° C, = 212° F. = 80° R.), 

Breaking Load, the dead load which just produces 
fracture in a material or structure. 

Breaking Stress, the stress under which a material 
will just give way. 

Calorie, or Calory, the quantity of heat required 
to raise the temperature of a kilogramme of water 
from 0° to 1° C., or the quantity required to raise 
@ gramme of water through the same range; used 
as the unit of heat. 

Capacity, used in physics in various ways with the 
general notion of power of containing or receive 
ing; in electrostatics, the capacity of a conductor 
is the quantity of electricity required to charge it 
to uuit potential; in heat, the mean thermal capac 
city of a body between ¢°1 and ¢° is Q/it2—t1, where 
Q is the quantity of heat required to raise its 
temperature from ¢°; to ¢%. 

Cauatic, the envelope of the rays of light proceeds 
from a fixed point/and reflected or refracted at a 
surface, 

Celo, a name sometimes used for the unit of acs 
celeration, one foot per second per second. 

Centigrade, the name of one of the scales of ordine« 
ary thermometers, with the freezing and boiling 
points of water marked respectively 0° and 100°; it 
1s the chief scale for scientific purposes. and tem< 
peratures on it are denoted by the letter C. See 
Fahrenheit. 

Centimetre, the unit of length in the C.G.S. syste 
of measures, equal to one-hundredth of a metre, 
denoted by cm., and equal to 39370113 of an inch, 

Centre of Buoyancy, in hydrostatics, the centre of 
gravity of the liquid displaced by a floating body. 
It is the point through which the upward thrust 
of the liquid may be conceived to act. ; 

Centre of Gravity, that point in a body dala 3 
which the resultant of the practically parallel 
forces exerted by the earth on its particles always 
acts, whatever be the particular position of the 
body. In bodies of uniform density its position 
depends only on the shape of the body, but in 
others the distribution of the mass also enters 
into the problem; denoted by C.@. : 

Centre of Mass, that point in a body through which 
the resultant of absolutely parallel forces exerte2 
on its particles always-acts, whatever the direc« 
tion of the forces; practically identical with the 
centre of gravity (which see). 

Centre of Oscillation, in a compound pendulum, 
a point where the whole mass might be concens 
trated without changing the time of oscillation. 

Centre of Pressure, the point in a submerged plane 
area through which the resultant of the fluid 
pressures upon it acts.

CHEMICAL 


By means of chemical symbols, or formula 
the composition of the most complicated sub: — 
stances can be very easily expressed, and that 
too, in a very small compass; and by using these 
aymbols along with the algebraic signs + and = 
(more rarely —) the most complicated chemical 
reactions can be expressed with great concises 
ness and complete accuracy, both quatitativ 
and quantitatively. Abbreviated uxpressions 6% 
equations of this kind often give, in a sings 
line, more information as to details thos a : 
be given tn many lines of letterpress 


étseif it indicates one atom of the element it 
fepresents, Thus H stands for one atom of 
bydrogen, O for one atom of oxygen, and Cl for 
One atom of chlorine. 

When a symbol] has 8 emall figure or number 
@nderwritten, and to the right of it, such figure 
oF number indicates the number of atoms of 
the element. Thus Os signifies two atoms of 
oxygen, S; five atoms of sulphur, and C,o ten 
atoms of carbon, 

When twe or more elements are united to 
form a chemical compound, their symbols are 
@ritten one after the other, to indicate the 
¢ompound. Thus Hs0 means water, a com- 
pound of two atoms of hydrogen and one of 
oxygen; Cj9H5201, indicates cane-sugar, a 
compound of twelve atoms of carbon, twenty- 
&wo of hydrogen, and eleven of oxygen. 

These two expressions as they stind denote 
fespectively a molecule of the substance they 
fepresent, that is, the smallest possible quantity 
of it capable o? existing in the free state. To 
@xpress several molecules a large figure is pre- 
Gxed; thus, 2H,0 represents two molecules of 
water, 4(C;5H320;,) four molecules of cane- 
@ugar. 

‘When a compound is formed of two or more 


compounds the symbolical expressions for tho | 


‘gompound are usually connected together by o 


comma; thus, the crystallized magnesic sul- | 


Glad is MgSO4,7Hs0. The symbols may also 
be used to express the changes which occur 
during chemical action, and they are then 
written in. the form of an equation, of which 
one side represents the substances as they exist 
before the change, the other the result of the 
reaction, Thus, 2H3+O03=2H30 expresses the

The central spindle is driven from the engine by

65. Montgolfier’s hydraulic ram, by means of 
which a small fall of water throws a jet to a great

actiou of the water on the two valves, which are

right-hand ope is pressed down by a weight or

to the efflux.

valve opens and piston-valve closes, and water 
rushes up to fill the vacuum created. During 
down-stroke lower valve closes and piston-vaive 
opens, and the water passes through the piston. 
At next up-ttreke it is raised by the piston and 
passes out by the spout.

plunger. Thus, if the area of the plunger cross-

the latter, or nearly 26 cwts.
